Building the largest network of reliable extension agents for African farmers.

Both supply-side and demand-side constraints affect the functioning and performance of supply chains. These constraints affect availability, accessibility and affordability of product and services in rural areas.

At Extension Africa, our solutions tackles these challenges by sustainably connecting rural supply chains through our network of private extension service providers across Africa.

Become a Farmer Business Associate (FBA)

Earn an average of $200 monthly

The average extension agent to farmer ratio is around 1:10,000 while over 17 million youths in Africa enter the labour market annually. The current models of extension delivered through public or private systems has proven not to be sustainable with problems of inadequate number and low quality of agents. This has caused stagnant productivity, losses and poor loan repayment for financial institutions, aggregators and investors
Unlocking a sustainable and scalable way to make extension service delivery an inclusive business is a sure way to get our youths and women involved.
We call our extension agents “Farmer Business Associates” for a reason! Our associates are selected from the farming communities, are tech-driven, trained on the best agronomic and business practices, and have a deep understanding of the local context.
While building trust between FBAs and farmers, we are developing a sustainable agency system by transforming extension agents to micro-SMEs, a commission-based model that ensures agents earn higher as the size of their farmers and services offered to these farmers increases. An agent earn an avg. of $200 monthly serving 200 farmers.

The average ratio of extension agents to farmers 1:10,000 (i.e, 1 Extension Agent for every 10,000 farmers) is inadequate, leading to low productivity and financial issues. To address this, we have Farmer Business Associates (FBAs) who are trained, tech-driven, and selected from farming communities. By transforming FBAs into micro-SMEs, they earn more as they serve more farmers, promoting sustainable and inclusive extension services.
